Intuitionistic grammar logics fuse constructive and multi-modal reasoning while permitting the use of converse modalities, serving as a generalization of standard intuitionistic modal logics. In this paper, we provide definitions of these…

Inductive proofs can be represented as proof schemata, i.e. as parameterized sequences of proofs defined in a primitive recursive way. Applications of proof schemata can be found in the area of automated proof analysis where the schemata…

The evaluation mechanism of pattern matching with dynamic patterns is modelled in the Pure Pattern Calculus by one single meta-rule. This contribution presents a refinement which narrows the gap between the abstract calculus and its…

Cut-elimination is the bedrock of proof theory. It is the algorithm that eliminates cuts from a sequent calculus proof that leads to cut-free calculi and applications. Cut-elimination applies to many logics irrespective of their semantics.…

We review the close relationship between abstract machines for (call-by-name or call-by-value) lambda-calculi (extended with Felleisen's C) and sequent calculus, reintroducing on the way Curien-Herbelin's syntactic kit expressing the…

This paper tackles the problem of formulating and proving the completeness of focused-like proof systems in an automated fashion. Focusing is a discipline on proofs which structures them into phases in order to reduce proof search…

The logic of Bunched Implications (BI) freely combines additive and multiplicative connectives, including implications; however, despite its well-studied proof theory, proof-search in BI has always been a difficult problem. The focusing…

Commonly used proof strategies by automated reasoners organise proof search either by ordering-based saturation or by reducing goals to subgoals. In this paper, we combine these two approaches and advocate a SAT-based method with symmetry…

The lambda-Pi-calculus allows to express proofs of minimal predicate logic. It can be extended, in a very simple way, by adding computation rules. This leads to the lambda-Pi-calculus modulo. We show in this paper that this simple extension…

We present a uniform characterisation of three-valued logics by means of the bisequent calculus (BSC). It is a generalised form of a sequent calculus (SC) where rules operate on the ordered pairs of ordinary sequents. BSC may be treated as…

A grammar logic refers to an extension to the multi-modal logic K in which the modal axioms are generated from a formal grammar. We consider a proof theory, in nested sequent calculus, of grammar logics with converse, i.e., every modal…

It is well-known in the field of programming languages that dealing with variable names and binders may lead to conflicts such as undesired captures when implementing interpreters or compilers. This situation has been overcome by resorting…

We present the Sequent Calculus Trainer, a tool that supports students in learning how to correctly construct proofs in the sequent calculus for first-order logic with equality. It is a proof assistant fostering the understanding of all the…

We present automated theorem provers for the first-order logic of here and there (HT). They are based on a native sequent calculus for the logic of HT and an axiomatic embedding of the logic of HT into intuitionistic logic. The analytic…

Scala's type system unifies ML modules, object-oriented, and functional programming. The Dependent Object Types (DOT) family of calculi has been proposed as a new foundation for Scala and similar languages. Unfortunately, it is not clear…

We propose a new cyclic proof system for automated, equational reasoning about the behaviour of pure functional programs. The key to the system is the way in which cyclic proof and equational reasoning are mediated by the use of contextual…

In this paper we develop cyclic proof systems for the problem of inclusion between the least sets of models of mutually recursive predicates, when the ground constraints in the inductive definitions belong to the quantifier-free fragments…

Type theory can be described as a generalised algebraic theory. This automatically gives a notion of model and the existence of the syntax as the initial model, which is a quotient inductive-inductive type. Algebraic definitions of type…

We propose a sound and complete proof rule ProbTA for quantitative analysis of violation probability of probabilistic programs. Our approach extends the technique of trace abstraction with probability in the control-flow randomness style,…

In this work, we explore proof theoretical connections between sequent, nested and labelled calculi. In particular, we show a general algorithm for transforming a class of nested systems into sequent calculus systems, passing through linear…
